CEBL Finals opener put on ice
The Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) cancelled the first round of its Finals, which was set to be a best-of-three series between the Winnipeg Sea Bears and Brampton Honey Badgers. The game, scheduled for Wednesday at the CAA Centre in Southern Ontario, was halted due to condensation on the court, making it unsafe for play.
The league decided to move the championship to a single game in Manitoba on Saturday. Sea Bears head coach Mike Raimbault expressed disappointment, stating that player safety was the top priority. The CEBL offered refunds for cancelled tickets but acknowledged the financial losses faced by fans who traveled from Winnipeg.
